Boktai Efficient Gardening Guide Gameboy Advance By Skygor August 2010 I. Introduction II. Gardening III. Recipes IV. Fruits V. Conclusion =========================================================================== I. Introduction =========================================================================== Purpose ----------------------------------- The purpose of this guide is to explain how to grow different Solar Fruits in Boktai. The unique aspects of this guide are: 1. Lists recipes by the fruit desired. 2. Removes duplicate and unnecessary recipes. 3. Lists Solar unites for fruits and weapons. ----------------------------------- Unites ----------------------------------- 1 Solar Unit (su) = 1 bar width of the Gun del a Sol 1 Solar Nut = 2 su 1 Battery = 8 su * All measurements given are in 0 su sunlight for the duration of the growing. * All measurements are until the Solar Fruit grows leaves, which is a little more than 50% of the growing time required. * All measurements are within 1 su. =========================================================================== II. Gardening =========================================================================== Early in the game Django will gain access to the Solar Tree and can use it to plant fruits. Two Solar Fruits can be combined in one of the hollows to grow another Solar Fruit. Solar Fruits are grown by exposing them to sunlight. The more sunlight the faster it grows. Sunlight can be manually added by with the Gun del la Sol. Only gun frames that produce a spread can be used. * Sun and Earth frame add su. * Sun and Earth give the same amount of su if their levels are the same. * Fire and Frost frame damage the plant. Which yields a Rotten Nut. * Dark frame removes su. Here are the number of Solar Unites consumed to grow a Golden Apple in 0 su sunlight. Solar Nuts where used to recharge the Gun del a Sol. Frame Sun 3 Earth 3 Other conditions ------------------------------------------------------- Spread E 23 23 Spread C 23 23 Sword C 15 15 Sword B 22 22 Sword A 27 27 Rotation D 20 20 Rotation C 30 30 Rotation B 40 40 Spread E 23 23 two plants Spread C 23 23 two plants Rotation D 20 20 constant rotation Rotation C 30 30 constant rotation Rotation B 40 40 constant rotation * The weakest Sword is the best for growing a single plant. * The weakest Rotation is multiple plants at the same time. =========================================================================== III. Recipes =========================================================================== * Order of items does not matter except with the carrots. * The 2x Carrot or Fast Carrot can be used with all items. * Items that use more su than it produces are not included. * If not such recipe exists, then the minimum will be given.

Bad Pumpkin + Revivafruit -> 835 su =========================================================================== IV. Solar Fruit =========================================================================== Since no one has yet to do this. Here is an actual list of the items and what they do. Green Apple 3 su Heals 1 unite of health. Red Apple 4 su Heals 2 unites of health. Gold Apple 15 su Heals 4 unites of health. Heal Fruit 210 su Heals all health. Solar Nut 15 su Restores 2 su to the Gun del la Sol. See-All Nut 5 su Reveals hidden chests, solar bamboo shoots, and makes all enemies glow. Tiptoe Nut 105 su Makes footsteps silent such as in puddles or grates. Speed Nut 21 su Increases walking speed. Banana 21 su Increases speed at pushing blocks. EvilBanana 3 su Increases speed at pushing blocks and drains Django's health over time. Redshroom 4 su Shrink Django down to fit into small air vents. Blueshroom 21 su Makes Django invisible. Still attracts monsters by noise. Flame Nut 5 su Reduces damage from fire. Cannot be set on fire. Ice Nut 5 su Reduces damage from ice. Cannot be frozen. Bearnut 210 su All attacks deal zero damage. Enduranut 21 su Reduces damage from physical attacks and 'folun to zero. Django can still be damaged by being on fire, frozen, etc. Empty Gourd 3 su Warps Django to the dungeon entrance. Solar Leaf 3 su Warps Django to the Solar Tree. Bad Pumpkin 313 su Lowers the level of all the Boks in the next dungeon entered. E.g. red to purple, purple to green. Can only be used outside. Revivafruit 522 su Revives Django if his health reaches zero. Do not count as a death. x2 Carrot 105 su When planted with a Solar Fruit it will yield 6 to 10 of them. Required su is unchanged. Fast Carrot 105 su When planted with a Solar Fruit it will yield 4 of them. Require su is reduced by 50%. Pineapple Grenade 15 su This is a special grenade that can only be obtained from the Solar Tree by combining a Bad Pumpkin with a Revivafruit. (Subsequent mixes yield a Heal Fruit.) It deals damage proportional to the amount of sunlight. After using it, it will regenerate over time. =========================================================================== V. Growing Tips =========================================================================== Pineapple Grenade ---------------------------------------------------- This is a one of a kind grenade that is grown from only one combination. Since this involves a Revivafruit--the longest fruit to grow--it is best to start as soon as Django can plant. Hollow #1 1. Green Apple + Red Apple -> Gold Apple. 2. Red Apple + Gold Apple -> Revivafruit Hollow #2 1. Banana + Empty Gourd -> Bad Pumpkin Hollow #1 1. Revivafruit + Bad Pumpkin -> Pineapple Grenande ---------------------------------------------------- Carrots ---------------------------------------------------- Planting a fruit with a carrot will yield multiple values that is always faster than growing from scratch (if you consider all the fruit involved.) Even though carrots are "rare" they still can be combined with each other. So with a little planning Django can have a nearly unlimited supply of fruit. Hollow #3 1. Banana + Solar Leaf -> 2x Carrot (1) Hollow #4 1. Red Apple + Solar Leaf -> See-All Nut 2. Green Apple + See-All Nut -> Fast Carrot (1) * Combine the carrots with each other so you grow an x2 Carrot. You will get four in half the time! * Grow a Fast Carrot from scratch. * Finally combine the carrots with each other to grow a Fast Carrot. You will get six to ten! Django is now ready for factory farming. * Plant Heal Fruit, Bearnuts, Bad Pumpkins, and Revivafruit with Fast Carrots. * Plant everything else with x2 Carrots. * Don't forget to plant carrots with each other so you do not run out. =========================================================================== VI. Conclusion =========================================================================== To Do List, Maybe ---------------------------------------------------- * Spelling and grammar. * Value for best frames. ---------------------------------------------------- Version History ---------------------------------------------------- 1.00 2010/08/08 First Version ---------------------------------------------------- Legal Stuff ---------------------------------------------------- This Guide is COPYRIGHT 2010 David Paul Gorski a.k.a.
